IMO, the current price of a first-class domestic stamp should be right on the homepage.
On Google, in the suggested search box, if you type:
"how much is"
The first option to come up is "how much is a stamp"
I've performed this search myself many times because I don't mail letters often, but when I do, I go to the junk drawer to get a stamp, see a sheet of $0.42 stamps and wonder, "is that how much stamps are?" It's not. But to find this out, I had to do a search and dig.
HOWEVER, the first place I went was USPS.com, and since it wasn't right on the homepage, I went to Google instead of trying to browse around their site aimlessly.
- bnycum 15y agoThat's why I've always got Forever Stamps since they came out. No more worrying.
- username3 15y agoWhat are Forever Stamps? https://www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/forever_stamp_facts.htm https://www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/forever_stamp_f... is broken. First result on Bing and Google. Google gave me the option to Block all www.usps.com results.
- psadauskas 15y agoIts a stamp that costs whatever first class postage is when you buy it, but it's always good for that, no matter how much the rates go up. So the Forever stamp you paid $0.44 for now, you can still use it to mail a letter in 5 years, when stamps might be $0.70.
- jamesbkel 15y agoDepending on your country and postal service these are also known more generally as "non-denominated" or "non-value indicator" postage.
- jamesbkel 15y agoActually, as of 2011 all first class USPS postage is non-denominated. So anyone purchasing new stamps should be covered.
- drinian 15y agoWhen you're mailing something that needs more than one stamp, you still have to know the current value of that Forever Stamp. That being said, the reason you can't just print postage online for anything but Priority/Express seems to be a really bad deal the USPS made with PitneyBowes.
